The calibre of the museum and its display is some of the best that we have experienced. The presentation of the artifacts and the interpretation was superior. Would highly recommend it as a must see when visiting Florence.

The highlight of my trip to Florence was certainly the San Marco Museum. I particularly liked seeing Fra Angelico's painting of the Annunciation, as well as all of his frescoes in the convent cells upstairs on the first floor.

Museo di San Marco is not crowded at all although it is very close to the Accademia where there are dense crowds waiting in the street to seee the David. The painted frescoes of Beato Angelo at San Marco are stunning and there is quiet time and space to see them. I arrived 30 minutes ahead of my scheduled time of 10am and went in early. No one else was there.

Very easy to collect tickets. Pick up point was exactly where detailed.
There was no skip the queue area that was mentioned but the museum had a very organised process for getting people in and the wait time was not long.
Id recommend booking early tickets so you get the museum at a slightly quieter time before it gets busy.

I visited the Academia Gallery specifically to see Michelangelo’s David, which of course was spectacular. The Gallery was also filled with beautiful treasures, both paintings and sculpture, including a beautiful fresco fragment by Giotto. My favorite room of all was the Lorenzo Bartolini’s Plaster Casts Gallery, which felt like stepping into a Renaissance painting.

Healdout allowed me to purchase the same day with a bit of a discount, let's just say that it's inconceivable that children pay the same price as adults..(abroad children don't pay to enter museums..)in Italy in addition to paying to see our beauties we still had to queue at the entrance and make do with the bags that couldn't get in...the monument is worth it but everything else is a bit of a disincentive

We had some trouble finding parking and navigating that so we were a few minutes late to the steps, and the gentleman let us right in at the front of the line, which was so nice! What a beautiful property, totally amazed at the Pisa tower and also the fallen angel statue.

Fantastic place with loads of great art. Extremely crowded but that was not surprising really. Was easy using headout. Guy with tickets was easy to find and it did mean we could head straight in with just a brief security check. Michaelangelo's David is fantastic and so glad I've seen the real thing.

David was the main attraction we wanted to see. It was very touristy as all of Florence is & very confusing to get in by ourselves. purchasing the guided tour made it very easy as they acquired our tickets for us, led us with a group inside, and made the process simple. We did lose the group inside as it was a bit chaotic withthe amount of people at the museums first room & we roamerd around by ourselves after the security checkpoint. Well worth the price for the convenience over the non-reservation line.
